Bloc Hotel for the win!
There used to be a time when the thought of staying at an airport hotel would be unthinkable. I always imagined it to be 3 star quality – offering the basic amenities – a pre-flight bed – with no design quality whatsoever. The only advantage would be that it would be easy and convenient to get to one’s gate of departure.
However, it seems that hotels are looking to up their game at airport locations, and for that I’m super thankful.

My last day in Berlin and I chose to spend it at the Deutsche Kinemathek and Museum Fur Film und Fernsehen at Potsdamer Platz. Because Marlene Dietrich permanent collection! Also exhibits on media, film and television from the beginnings to present day Germany.
The Marlene Dietrich exhibition came from her extensive private collection and included costumes from her films, thousand of items from her personal wardrobe, her touring luggage, film clips, posters, sound recordings, photographs, love letters and correspondence between Yul Brynner, Maurice Chevalier, Noel Coward, Ernest Hemingway, Orson Welles and countless others.
I’ve always wanted to see the Siegessäule aka Golden Lizzie (to Berliners) aka Berlin Victory Column to the rest of the world. Ever since watching Wim Wender’s Wings of Desire, in which the column acted as a gathering place for angels. And as a huge U2 fan (their earlier music), I was absolutely in love with the Stay! (Faraway, So Close) music video – also directed by Wim Wenders.
